We will see if you can pull it off but you lose that game? You're done. I predict 3 losses and no playoffs if you lose that game.
The reality is UGA has at best two games that can be considered "toss-ups" next year. Those would be Bama and Texas.
Ole Miss, Tennessee, Clemson... those are games UGA should win. They're not toss ups.
If UGA loses to both Texas and Bama, they'll likely NOT make the SECCG and will be in the playoff at 10-2, likely sitting at 8th or 9th in the pre-playoff poll (note: That's where Mizzou was sitting this past season at 10-2).
Now UGA could lose to other teams as well. But let's be realistic... if UGA is bad enough to lose to Tennessee or Ole MIss they simply wouldn't have been very good on the whole. The Bama game wouldn't have mattered as it wasn't the low end of the games UGA would have lost. The loss to Ole Miss or Tennessee would be the one that "got" UGA.
The line has moved from the idea that UGA could have been "playoff level" good but get damaged by a loss to Bama, to simply saying that a 3-loss UGA team would be bad for UGA.
Yes, a 3-loss UGA season would be detrimental to UGA.
A season with a regular season loss to Bama that has UGA finish 11-1 and make the playoff won't be any different than a 11-1 season with a win against Bama (and say a loss to Texas).
Individual regular season games mean almost nothing. All that matters is the record at the end. Due to having 12 teams, there won't be any close monitoring on if team a beat team B. They'll all get in.

While it is true that you would get in, the top 4 teams will receive a bye and probably more favorable match ups, putting them at a significant advantage, so the regular season still matters.

Ole Miss is loaded, Kiffin will probably field his best team by far and he has Georgia at home. He's got his QB back and added all kinds of players through the portal.
Ole Miss is a threat.
Ole Miss is a threat.
